This dude I'm talking to is talking about me making a multi page site with a bunch of different colors and graphics and all this stuff.

However, he's never made any mention about me getting paid for it. Should I assume he is?

Should I just bluntly ask him, "Am I getting paid for this?"

He doesn't want a simple website, he's telling me to make him a custom Joomla template with different backgrounds and all this.

The other problem is--he's my friend so I can't just say, "Fuck off!" So how can I say it politely? Or do I not?

Dannay, you are a really nice guy and sometimes you need help in the area of deciphering people's intentions. Don't let yourself get walked over. That is a fuck ton of work, and you should ask about compensation. One thing you can do is bring it up as if it was expected. Ask him what he thinks a fair price for this sort of thing is? You should always be charging for your skills.

My grandfather died recently, we have a great family friend who is giving us legal advice in reference to wills and inheritances. But we are paying him. This is his profession and his livelihood. You should really be asking him about this. Talk with your mother, too. Ask her to give her take on the situation. Is this someone from the internet or real life? If your mother knows him, she may know if he's trying to take advantage of you.

Feel free to instant message me, or whatever in regards to this. Best of luck, man!

"Since you're a friend, I'll do the work cheap... say, $###?" Easy way to ask for money yet still seem friendly.

Ask him if he minds paying for it. You have other stuff to do and you can make money using those same skills. Tell him that if he doesn't pay, you won't be able to devote as much time to the project and it won't look as good.

I once heard the voice of God.
It said "Vrrrrmmmmm." Unless it was just a lawn mower.
